The Broadbent family grave at Watlington tells a sad story. The two little children died only 17 days apart at a time when disease commonly spread easily in all communities. The inscription reads: In Memory of WILLIAM Son Of JOSEPH And ELIZABETH BROADBENT Who died 14th October 1848 Aged 2 Years Also MARY Daughter Of The Above Who Died 31st October 1848 Aged 6 months These Lovely Buds So Young So Fair Called Hence By Early Doom Just Came To Show How Sweet Such Flowers In Paradise Would Bloom
